DMA's Never Satisfied Training Log

Man, nothing pumps you up like Tren. Did not feel like I looked that big when I walked into the gym. Pretty happy with things though. That picture, and how I looked in general this morning, was like a new level.
MrKleen73 the Snatch and Carries w/ DB's is a totally different monster. The weight does not translate the same for either movement from BB to DB. Started off with some 25's and thought, oh these snatches are easy. But carrying 25's overhead after a few snatches was much more challenging than I was prepared for. Considering I was walking around with 105lbs. on a BB. That stabilization really comes into play. And like you said, hold them slightly outside for an even more challenging carry.

Applied Super-11 last night and again after post-workout shower this morning.

Pump is looking NASTY in the gym dude!
 
He just started the tren so at least 8 weeks minimum I assume.
 
Jealous! You are looking damn good brother!
 
bro this is inspiring, and kind of discouraging the reason why I say that is it seems that it takes alot to look that Ripped and swole...
goodness I'll try though.

Bro you have to keep in mind a few things.

#1 Genetics. Mine are poor in regards to body composition and metabolism. Thyroid disease also runs in my family and I probably have issues. I am fighting them with things I've learned, training like a madman, and steroids.

#2 Age. I'm 38. I'm not 25. It might not take as much if I were younger and had lived this lifestyle earlier in life.

#3 Personal History. My body is fukked naturally. I abused meth and an eating disorder to the fullest degree for almost 15 years. My wiring and such is not normal. I am certain I have done some serious damage to my metabolism, sleep patterns, etc.

I am not the cookie cutter example of body-building, diet, and supplementing. Everyone has their own story. There are many guys around here who do not have to do the things that I do in order to achieve great physiques. That is in no way a comment to take away from their hard work, they put it in. But some are just more fortunate than others. Don't be discouraged.

I also realize that I can't do these things forever. I just want to taste it for a few good years before I have to realize it's time to be more content with less. Be more content with what my body will give me with less "supplements". One of these days I'd rather travel than run cycles with my money LOL. But for now, I'm getting it while the getting's good!!

well good job bro on this awesone progress.
 
My fitness journey has been going on over 5 years now and people always act like I just diet for a week and get shredded. I wish it was that easy!

I was going to go into how things are varied for everyone and yada yada yada but you covered it all quite eloquently.
Thanks guys. Not only physique wise, but it's amazing how life in general has become something to be proud of in just over 6 years.
That is the true growth!
 
Dma378 You probably feel the same way but when someone comes to you for help and ACTUALLY listens instead of just looking for a quick fix and you use your knowledge to help them make life changes. That feeling is just amazing. I helped my friend Tiffany drop 40 pounds in 3 months and her doctor took her off her bp meds. My friend Kevin finally put on muscle and not fat when trying to become beefier, my friend Jackie shape up for her wedding. When you help these people help themselves it feels great to have helped made the difference.

This is so true. I get as much pleasure out of helping someone else succeed as I do myself.
 
Haven't stopped by in a while but it seems everything is moving along nicely. Your last pic shows some great improvement in your arms. Size is nice but when you start to see some serious depth in the musculature, it looks that much better.

And you're still telling it exactly as it is. Post #3517 is just another example.

Keep putting in that work bro, cuz I'm doing nohing but slacking recently. Hopefully life slows down a bit so I can spend some time with my mistress...

Nice workout bro. What kind of pain when you do pull ups?

This, I either didn't see where you said it or just forgot what was going on.

So the other day I was going to do BW Pull Ups for Pull Hyper day. I always do a few single to loosen up. Did one and felt a weird pain in what I can only describe as the area that connects the top of the lat, bottom of rear delt, and tricep.

So decided then that pull ups were a no-go, moved to lat pull downs and those felt fine. Thought whatever it was had something to do with the weight hanging and not the pulling motion.

Today was going to do weighted pull ups for heavy pull day and felt it again doing my warm up set. So again moved to lat pull downs, but today it was there doing those. Not so painful that I couldn't do them, but definitely there.

This gives me ZERO pain or discomfort doing anything else. I cannot feel it right now, I circle my arm around, stretch it, there is no sign of it. It is only in that position under strain.

Thoughts????
 
Weird dude, I get a pain sometimes but sounds like mine might be in a different area. Sounds weird but I warm up with some DB flies before hand. Just like 15-20lb DBs and let it hang and stretch me out at the bottom for my biceps and shoulders. No pain doing pull ups after I warm up with those. You could give that a shot and see if it does anything for you
 
Raaaawwwwwrrrrrrr.......Destroyed a session this morning!!!!!

JK, did 35 minutes on the stairs, 2 sets of Deadlifts, and said F-it and went home and back to bed for 90 more minutes of sleep.

Needed it!!
 
I added this to my shoulders workout and my shoulders have not been that sore I'm years...
thanks for sharing bro
and I know dem feels when u r like screw this I'm going home

Hell yeah man. Glad you like them. Pretty much my favorite exercise combo right now.
 
Finally after all my BP battles I got a monitor. And what's the fastest way to a freak out? Use it incorrectly. First test read 170/90 and lit up RED!!

Flipped through the instructions and saw where I went wrong. Wrist should be at heart level, and relaxed fingers no clenching.

Second reading was 122/71

Sleep was totally disturbed with pounding heart, sweating and restlessness. And today at the grocery store the first random hot flash and pouring sweat hit me. I think the Tren E is building!!

About to go smash some sled and Deadlifts that I walked out on the other morning.
